That's some great stuff there!

Shame the link is the daily mail lol I also love in the article how they also say "Luckily for SpaceX, it was able to stick the landing with its Falcon 9." - pretty sure at this point its not luck 😛

Thats great.
Yes some clever calculations on the planned trajectory data from spaceX.
Obviously insider information rather than good luck.

Thanks for posting the link.
